At the crossroads of the valleys

The village of Walschbronn and the three valleys leading to it are dominated by the ruins of the Weckersburg castle.
Built around 1490 by the Count of Deux-Ponts Bitche to protect the curists and serve as a hunting castle, it was destroyed by fire a century later. From Walschbronn, the walker reaches Dorst, a small hamlet where one can discover a picturesque chapel and a remarkable Mennonite cemetery.
Thanks to its thermal waters, Walschbronn was famous from Roman times until the middle of the 18th century.
